Grab a tender water, fill a faint fragrance in your sleeves, and start from a rainy alley. Hold an oil-paper umbrella and walk into Gusu in warm and graceful poems.

The willow wind blows on the face and doesn't get cold, and the apricot flower rain makes your clothes wet. In the rainy and rainy season, in the northern city of Gusu, on the bank of Ezhendang, the Beicun Village on the Beiqiao Street of Xiangcheng is the destination of this trip.

Northern fishing, as the name suggests, is related to fishing.

Half a century ago, there were geese covered with reeds wandering on the deserted beach. Today's fishermen in the north are all fishermen who used to wander in the rivers and lakes and made boats their home.

"Eat fresh rice early, burn live trees and firewood at night, leave the beach in the strong wind, and drill into the bridge holes in the rain." At that time, the fishermen in the north had no tiles above and no inch of soil below, and relied on fishing and shrimp to support their families.

In March 1968, fishermen who had been wandering in the rivers and lakes for generations came ashore and settled down. They chose their home in Ezhendang East, a deserted beach full of reeds.

Starting from scratch, after fifty years of hard work, the former deserted beach has become a poetic Jiangnan village.

A river connecting Ezhendang and Caohu meanders through Beiyu. The quaint houses reflect the water, willows and water, and swimming fish depend on each other.

Three or two ducks from the farmhouse on the other side are plump and quack into the water and flipper, swinging in circles.

On rainy days, it is hard to see a woman washing clothes, but there are also white-headed old men passing the time, holding an umbrella and fishing for spring water alone from a river.

The pavilion covers the rain, but it seems to open a curtain of dreams. In the sleepy eyes of crabapple flowers, there is a story of the past through the ages.

People in the past sometimes chanted and pondered in this pavilion. The wind blew the rice paper on the stone table and ink dripped on the paper. The person holding the pen had no intention of painting.

This painting was originally in my eyes and in my heart, but it lacked that person, but the peerless painting was also boring.

On the Koi Bridge, there is light rain and fog. This is a season that makes people think of childhood sweethearts. Every figure coming from far away looks like the person they miss day and night.

However, the beautiful woman in her dream did not appear during this rainy season.

The person holding the pen sighed softly, and the ink entered the paper and faded away. Whose lovesickness was it that caused tears in the world in April?

The lingering rain is the lover of spring. The sound of tourists steps over the grass and stone bridges. They look back at the villages swimming past with light makeup and elegant makeup. The green ones are willow trees, the white ones are cherry blossoms, and the red ones are crabapple.

The running water is rich with koi carp, the slanting wind is gentle, the drizzle is green, and the people who are busy with life are busy with their own work. People who watch the willow wind blowing and the apricot blossoms are hazy and butterfly Yufei are looking at Jiangnan, where the small bridges and flowing water are flowing, and the beautiful women are playing flute.

Jiangnan has been like poetry since ancient times, and fishing in the north has become picturesque. Once everyone who passes by enters this poetry and painting, it will be difficult to leave again.

In this flowing rhyme of Jiangnan, everyone's heart is like a leaf boat floating gently in the spring water. In this season when flowers are floating, they sing a gentle Tang and Song poetry alone.

In a trance, I saw the shepherd boy raised his hand and pointed a thousand years ago, turning into the seven-character quatrain that has been passed down to this day in the poet's pen. The jewelry fell to the ground, namely Jiangnan and Northern Fishing.
